Shout out: Inspired by Defend the tribe!!
Step One: Dig
The vital first step: It takes cards to play cards! You'll hardly run out of fuel here. Serum Visions sorts out your draws (and replaces itself), Gitaxian Probe lets you peep at your opponent's hand (and replaces itself),
Wall of Mulch
is a Wall (well duh. Oh, and it replaces itself), and
Carven Caryatid
is a bigger Wall of Bossoms that ofers two devotion to green.
Of course, drawing cards doesn't have to stop on turn three-- Regal Force can restock your hand after you've set up the board, and a big Genesis Wave will more than likely hit some more Caryatids and Blossoms.
Step Two: Ramp
Between Sylvan Caryatid and Overgrown Battlement, you've got some nice ramp going on. But what's that? You want positively mythic quantities of mana flowing out of your ears? Well you, my friend, need Kiora's Follower! Untap a Battlement or a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and you could be looking at quite a bit of the green stuff. And like before, ramping doesn't end with walls-- Primeval Titan comes in like a wrecking ball, bringing in a Nykthos when you need it and anything else when you don't.
Step Three: Win!
Because, as much fun as floating thirty-six mana and drawing seventeen cards in a single turn can be, we're here to wreck face.
And I've got just the thing for that.
As mentioned before, we have Primeval Titan and Regal Force to help ramp and dig, respectively. But you don't need me to tell you that they're both serious heavyweights looking to pick a fight. As backup we have Assault Formation-- a single Nykthos activation lets all your 4- and 5-butt walls swing in for critical beatdown.
Finally, riding a Genesis Wave on the back of an Overgrown Battlement, with a Kiora's Follower, over Nykthos, can take you crazy places. More Walls, titans, lands, whatever floats your boat. You may even hit enough cantripping creatures-- especially with Regal Force-- to hit another Genesis Wave on the same turn. Chord of Calling serves to be more toolboxy, for when you need a specific creature at instant speed.
TL;DR

Wall of Mulch
|
Carven Caryatid
Ramp: Sylvan Caryatid | Overgrown Battlement | Kiora's Follower | Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Wincons: Assault Formation | Primeval Titan | Regal Force
